I am originally from Caracas, Venezuela with Lebanese descent, I reside in Michigan and Miami, I am 1 of 10 children in a household where I participated in all the cooking from an early age. The values around fresh food and cooking remained with me throughout my life and continues to be the bond that brings my family and friends together. I have included some photos from my experience from The Tas

te. As you probably can imagine it was an incredible opportunity and honor to be selected amongst thousands of applicants to be chosen for the show. After being amongst Professional Cooking stars of the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Marcus Samuelsson, Ludo Lefebvreand and Nigella Lawson,I became compelled and inspired to further develop my own career as a cooking personality and entertainer.
